This contractor came out to repair my refrigerator through my home warranty company. There were three problems - one was repaired right away, the other two required ordering replacement parts. The first technician performed repair really well and ordered the necessary parts. Then, the company took a very long time to call me after they had received the parts. When the second technician came, he replaced a minor part very quickly, but it took him a very long time to replace the door gasket, and as a result, the door did not close tightly and did not seal at all. On top of everything, it turned out to be a very messy process (which didn't happen with other companies.) At first, he told me it would take two weeks for it to start working properly. I refused to accept this and called the warranty company, and as a result the tecnicial told them that it should take only a day to work. Seems strange that they tell the customer 2 weeks but when the warranty company calls, it's one day. Since this did not sound right, I requested re-install. The warranty company shipped the part again and called Appliance Magic to make sure they deal with this issue quickly and send a qualified tecnician, but Appliance Magic never followed up with me. When I called them, they didn't even have the record of communications with the warranty company or the fact that this was correction of a faulty installation. When I asked for someone to come next day to fix this issue (at this point, it's been almost 3 weeks since the first tecnician came out!), they told me they didn't have anyone going to my area and I had to wait another 2 or 3 days. Clearly, they have no concept of what it means to provide customer service. So when the third tecnician came out, the re-install went even worse - I could not close the refrigerator door at all. He pointed out the gap and told me to "put something heavy against the door" and it will resolve itself in 3 days. Again, he was a hard-working, nice man but clearly not qualified to perform the work. This was completely unacceptable, and I had him put the old part back on, which at least closed the door most of the way. I've had this part replaced several years ago with NO problems by a different company, but with Appliance Magice it went from bad to worse. What completely puzzles me is that they honestly believe that when the refrigerator door does not close at all, that's an acceptable result and the customer will take it.
I asked for the owner or manager on duty to call me back, and again, no response. I had to call him. They sound very polite on the phone, but it doesn't help that they can't fix the fridge. The first tecnician was fine, the receiptionist was polite and took my call after hours, but that's the only positive I can point out and that's why I did not give them an F. The other two tecnicians worked hard but just could not do the job, and I cannot believe that the owner or manager was not concerned about the level of service I was getting. I felt compelled to write about the refrigerator that's still not fixed after 3(!) weeks, wasted time, energy and resources. I am asking my warranty company to send a different contractor and I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.
